I spent time yesterday cleaning out my closets to donate to the local Salvation Army. I thought this would be a good opportunity to repurpose clothing that I am no longer using.

  Oh my gosh, Shannon, me too. I have two large bags of clothing and accessories to donate, plus I finally have some space in my closet. Everyone wins!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Basic Needs & Security

What was one of your most memorable volunteer experiences, and why? What would you like to volunteer for next, and why?
Shannon Dalton 4/07/2023 12:23 PM
I have enjoyed during roadside cleanups because it has a immediate effect on the neighborhoods in which I live.

I scheduled to do a park cleanup event with the Clinton River Watershed Council in Auburn Hills (2 hours) on April 26th. I also volunteered to be trained as a Clinton River Watershed Council Water tester (2 hours) so that I can participate in a testing event twice per year (May/October). It will be a great way to get involved locally with a great organization that is devoted to protecting and improving the health of the Clinton River and Lake St. Clair..

I chose to get involved in this EcoChallenge as a way to increase my awareness for Sustainability. I chose challenges that I thought I could accomplish within 30 days. I look forward to learning from others and creating new habits.
